Hi everyone - well what a change in the weather here today - raining and cold after such a lovely few days.
Thought I would pop on & share these 'fabric' inchies that I made for a swap.
The first thing I did was take some roving wool in a few colours and hand felted it into a square, then I cut my inchies from this.
I found some tiny buttons & beads and attached these on each inchie with a little sewing. Went around the edges with my idea of a blanket stitch!
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Bev xx

Hi everyone! Hope you are all well. The weather here has been lovely, but as I am sat writing this it is raining & is quite a bit colder today - good time to stay in and craft I think!
I can share this postcard as it has been received.
I cut the postcard from black card & embossed with an embossing folder. I went over the embossing with various colours of Viva Decor waxes.
I stamped the pocket watch & chain using versa mark ink & embossed with gold embossing powder, then cut it out. Used DI to ink over the watch face.
Stamped the border onto white card using black archival then cut out, inked around the edges with DI.
Die cut the wings from white card & inked with DI.
Arranged all the elements onto the postcard, using foam pads on the watch for a bit of dimension.
Stamped the sentiment using versa mark, embossed using gold embossing powder. Cut out & inked around using DI.
Hope you like it.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs,
Bev xx

The background on my card was made by putting ink onto a stencil, then spraying the stencil with water. Care has to be taken at this stage to remove the paper from underneath & placing the stencil, ink side down, onto some watercolour paper.

The image was stamped onto white card, coloured & cut out. Same with the sentiment, but the ornate part of the sign was stamped straight onto the background.

Hope you have time to pop over to the Crafty Calendar blog & have a peek at the other DT's makes. Have a go at the challenge & you might be lucky enough to win some lovely goodies from Wild Orchid Crafts!

Hi everyone - time for another challenge over at Creative Artiste! The theme, as usual, is anything goes. If you're lucky enough to win you will receive goodies - stamps & dies - from the lovely Judy McKay.

I stamped the shoes onto white card, coloured in & cut out, same with the sentiment.

Ran some card through my GC using a clock embossing folder, then inked over this to bring out the details. Die cut this into the square shape, then cut lots of other shapes to buiod up the card.
